•
For axillary temperatures, lift the patient's arm so that the entire axilla is
easily seen and place the probe as high as possible in the axilla. Do not allow
the probe tip to come into contact with the patient until the probe is placed
in the measurement site. Any prior contact between the probe tip and the
tissue with another material may cause inaccurate readings. Verify that
axillary tissue completely surrounds the probe tip and place the arm snugly
at the patient's side. Firmly hold the probe in place and keep the tip of the
probe in contact with the tissue throughout the measurement process.
•
Remove the probe after the temperature measurement is complete and
firmly press the ejection button on the top of the probe to release the probe
cover.
•
Return the probe to the probe well.
•
Rectal temperatures are measured using rectal probes which give a Spot Check
Mode (predictive) temperature in approximately 10-13 seconds.
•
For rectal temperatures, separate the patient's buttocks with one hand. Use
the other hand to gently insert the probe only 5/8 in. (1.5 cm) inside the
rectum (less for infants and children). The use of a lubricant is optional. Tilt
the probe so that the tip is in contact with tissue. Continue to separate the
buttocks and hold the probe in place throughout the measurement process.
•
Remove the probe after the temperature measurement is complete and
firmly press the ejection button on the top of the probe to release the probe
cover.
•
Return the probe to the probe well and wash your hands.
Regularly wipe the probe with a cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent
solution, a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, or a 10% chlorine bleach solution.
